Oh, "On April 20, 2016, then-U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced plans to add Tubman to the front of the twenty-dollar bill". Wicked. Thanks a lot!

BTW, seems this was put on hold: http://fortune.com/2018/04/19/harriet-tubman-20-dollar-bill-...

I guess this was a pun that was heavily dependent on context / historical knowledge, not just word / language knowledge. Misses the mark for some people then, which is a shame because it seems a lot of thought went into it.
